Training sessions: Neutrality to decoy tools

Working board and train Tommy getting his reps in. Today's main focus was neutrality to decoy tools such as jerry cans and clatter sticks. If you're unfamiliar with these tools, they're used to distract dogs in protection sports during their obedience routines and add pressure during the protection routines as well.
We start out with using them as engagement cues for the handler so the response isn't focused on the decoy.
What this does for the dog is in obedience is its more of a cue to focus in the handler and in protection, it creates a neutral response.
Hope this is helpful, for questions or ideas of videos you'd like to see please comment below.

Hey man right now I’m 15 so won’t get a Malinois (for a while like at least 3 years)if so but I would love to have the active dog and I think I know what I’m getting into just asking if it’s possible for these dogs to do all the bite training and activities but also be pets, like there are people saying they aren’t pets but I realise that and I’ll commit my life and time to this and want something to commit too. I’ve had dogs my whole life but never a dog like this and I truly want to change my life for the active better, I do mountain bike running and swimming pretty often so I think I could add to it and accomodate this dog into my life

A well bred Mal definitely is not a pet and should have its genetic needs met forsure, but if you invest in a professional trainer you'll be good to go.
